Projection: need to automatically qualify
Sam Houston State’s résumé shows clear offensive upside highlighted by a road win at Wyoming and neutral-site victories over Idaho State and Idaho, but that promise is undercut by lopsided road defeats at Texas Tech, Utah and Oklahoma State that expose a porous defense and raise concerns about its ability to win away from home. The slate ahead contains a mix of manageable home and neutral assignments where the team can pad its ledger and a string of true road tests at Oregon State, New Mexico State, Liberty, WKU and Middle Tennessee that represent the only straightforward path to a meaningful résumé boost. How the team responds in those tougher environments and avoids further damaging losses will determine whether those early bright spots are enough to outweigh the bad road results.
